PPP4SDI - EU Industry Day
Public-Private Partnerships for Spatial Data Infrastructures in the
Context of E-Government

December 6-7, 2007 – Rome, Italy
University Roma - La Sapienza, Piazza Borghese, 9

EUROGI will be holding a seminar to explore ways in which Private-Public Partnerships (PPP) can assist in building the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) across Europe. The event is supported by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - the technical coordinator of INSPIRE. This European SDI is supporting Community environmental policies and shall be built upon SDIs established and operated by the Member States. There is a general tendency to integrate national SDIs in e-Government programmes.

The Programme will feature presentations from EUROGI, JRC and keynote speakers, as well as the perspectives from the private sector and the national approaches to be delivered by the members of EUROGI. Some relevant cases will also be presented and a large open debate is foreseen. The outcomes of the seminar will be published on the first half of 2008.
